In the meantime, here are 3 new guerilla knits that I got out today. The dino was at the Bean Scene and he really looked like he was wanting to join in the fun, so I gave him some tapestry needles and a ball of yarn, you know, just as a joke. I finish my drink and look over and holy fuck the little bastard is knitting. And so very photogenic.

The two trains were fun. Not much to say except that trains are WAY BIGGER the closer you get to them. I always forget that and am surprised each time that happens. Also, I was expecting a bit more in the way of more, shall I say, “traditional” graffiti. Just a few tags, but not much else or I would have included that here as well.

A few upcoming plans that I CAN divulge: I’ll be in Kaslo, Nelso, Cresto and maybe Trail and Rossland later in the month. I’m really working on my greater stomping grounds. Also, there may be a trip to Banff in the works. I’ve heard some interesting rumours…

Margaret Atwood
Leonard Cohen
the CBC Logo
Douglas Coupland
Romeo Dallaire
Terry Fox
Chief Dan George
Paul Gross
Rick Hansen
the Hanson Brothers
Gordon Lightfoot
Sook-Yin Lee
Peter Mansbridge
Kate McGarrigle (log driver's waltz)
Bob and Doug McKenzie
Christopher Plummer
David Suzuki
Pierre Trudeau
Neil Young
But I'd love to hear more ideas. I want to know who *YOU* think should be included and WHY! Send me your suggestions so I can immortalize your favourite Canadian in knitting.
